Have you ever seen a name that you think is pronounced one way but turns out to be pronounced another (Like "Sara (sa-DA Ramirez")? I thought this would be a good place to put those names and how you actually pronounce them.
But how do you pronounce Manoel Felciano's name? Is it like the Spanish "Mun-well" or is it pronounced differently?

Posted: 11/4/05 at 12:43pmI think I remember that one. Was that the one where I sang "Liza with a 'Z'"?

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Well the Broadway.com article says he goes by Mano for short so I'd guess the full pronunciation is probably Ma-no-el. (Like noel the xmas word.)
But then I'm just guessing. :)
